Independent Study

<p>Have any of you all ever done an Independent Study at school? If so, what did you study and what kinds of assignments did you do throughout the school year? I am interested in doing an IS at my school next year (I will be a junior). I guess my main worry is that I might become lazy and not put in as much effort as I should. I have a subject in my mind I want to study and some ideas of things to do throughout the year but I feel like this motivation might not be as strong by then. Thoughts?</p>
